Intel completes 32-nanometer chip development
Intel has completed the development phase of its next-generation manufacturing process that shrinks chip circuitry to 32 nanometers, the chipmaker said Tuesday night.
Intel processors are currently made on a 45nm process. Generally, smaller geometries result in faster and more power-efficient processors.
"The company is on track for production readiness of this future generation (of transistors)...in the fourth quarter of 2009," the chipmaker said in a statement.
Intel said it will provide technical details about the 32nm process technology at the International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) next week in San Francisco.
Finishing the development phase for 32nm … Read more
